Sasha A Foster

When we honor animals, they trust us. When we speak their language they respect us. When we wait for their permission they join us in the therapeutic bond, a shared space where the animal quietly tells us their secrets.

This is the underpinning of therapeutic relationships; learning to honor the animals as they are in this moment, the seconds before we put our hands on them. Our response to anxiety and fear should not be, “Don’t be afraid, settle down, have a treat”. Instead our response should be, “I see your anxiety and fear and I promise to show you there is no need for that here in my hands.” 

Testimonials

“Sasha is very talented as an animal rehabilitation therapist. I have thoroughly enjoyed her teaching. She has a very efficient and systemic approach with her evaluation and treatment protocols. The online library in her Canine Rehab Shop website is very useful clinically. The site gets updated all the time to make it user friendly and business oriented. I love their new feature [Canine Home Exercises] how we can digitally put all the exercises we need for the owner and send it to them via email. This will definitely increase owner compliance. Thank you Sasha!”- Sara Lam, veterinarian, Singapore

“I have just spent time with the team [CSU Rehabilitation] adding to my CCRT [Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist] knowledge bank. Loved every minute of it. They do an amazing job and they are fantastic at sharing their knowledge.”- Yoko Clinch, Australia

“Sasha Foster and her technician are miracle workers! My dog suffers from chronic back pain due to a pinched nerve on her spine. They were patient, kind, and truly top notch. During one particularly bad pain episode my dog couldn’t walk. After one hour with Sasha, she practically skipped out of CSU wagging her tail. We haven’t had a severe bout of pain in two months. I highly recommend the professional staff at CSU.”- Courtney Petros, U.S.A.
